A SAILOR'S EEVEME.
Bella MalHson's troubles were tho ro- Bnlt of certain eventnalittfia Sbe was very pretty aud had many lover.*. These follow in tho natural order of thinga Her father,~oldTom Mallison, had been a coasting.skipper; but, his wifo dying about the tiui^-his craft was condemned for niiseaworSiiness, be had fallen on evil times anfl drifted silently down tho ebbtide of-his existence, mindful of what had been and striving to act well by his girl.
So pretty Bella came to be tall, slight and grjicefully rounded, looked 20, thongli barely 17. Sho was a pretty, flushed, dark haired British girl, who conld -TOW hor father's skiff or stand hci lovM»' chaff with easy grace.
Matttji* went smoothly enough mitil Dick Hathaway stepped in and gained tho girl's promise. He was a tall, bright faced, manly fellow of 25 or thereabouts and skipper of the ketch Sultana, a craft peculiar to the lower Thames, trading mainly with the home ports.
One night shortly after their engage¬ ment tho two wore sitting iu tho dusk of tho twilight talking of the future which lay so bright before them. Only one figure loomed dark across their horizon—BiU Hanson, a man whose lover's attentions Bella had persistent¬ ly discouraged.
But tho glamour of lovo and the witchery of the girl's presenco in the firelit room made Dick laugh lightly at her fears when she told hiiu.
"Don't you trouble your pretty head about Bill Hanson, Bull.t," Dick whis¬ pered as ho strained bor to him, kLssing her good night. "I must i.;o now, dear. We're sailing at 13 o'cloci-c, aud if BiH Hanson says anything to you just let mo know, and I'll"—
"flush! Oh, Dick, what's that?"
A faco glared in upon them sLinding in tho firelight—a dark faco framed in tho wiudow pane—indistinct, vanish¬ ing, then—
Cra.?hl
Tho window fell, splintered into a thousand fragments.
Dicks face w.is dark wilh ungrr as ho strove to free himself from tho cling¬ ing, frightened girl. Bnt when at last ho got outsido bo v.is too lato. Tho street lay vacant aud deserted.
A fortnight or bo after this Bella was coining homo through tho blaring streets from :-. spell of Satnrday night's shopping. It was a raw, wet evening, and ns the girl hnrried along, tnrning Into the quieter streets, she heard foot¬ steps behind her. They blundered stead¬ ily on nnt:' nho camo to a narrow pas- sago litllo frequented, bnt a short cnt to her hoiGO. Pausing, she cast a hur¬ ried glauce ever her shoulder, then de¬ cided to ta!i:o tho cut. Beforo sho had traversed many yards she heard tho foot¬ steps quicken. Shtckcniug her pace, she Btepi«^d snddenly into tho shadow of au archway, hoping hei pursuer wonld pa.s8 in tho gloom. Bnt in another mo¬ ment ho hafl halted abruptly before her.
"What cheer, Miss Mallison?" cried a voice, which she directly recognized as Bill Hanson's.
"Oh, how you did frighten a Ixxly!" cried Bella, quickly proceeding ^n her way.
"Stop, Bella!" cried tho other. "You didn't nsed to be frightened of mo— now, did you?"
"I didn't know 'twas yoti."
"Aro yon sorry it's me?"
"I ain't glad," returned tbe girL
"Bella," answered the man, "is it tmo what I hears about Dick Hatha¬ way?"
"I don't know what yoa heard."
"Yes, you do. Bella, you know 1 lovo yon; Btrikcs mo yon kuow it as well as I do, aud yet you chuck me over same as if I was only a dawg."
"I never gavo you leave to talk to mo 80," cried tho girl hotly. "You'vebeen drinking ngaiu. Bill Hanson."
"Drinking, havo I? Yes, I have. Moro nor a drop too. What's more, you've drovo mo to it."
"I never encouraged yon, I'm snre," said Bella.
"No, you never did. That's whero it sticbi It's me as did the loving. It's mo as did the blooming dawg, dangling nfter yonr pretty footsteps. It's mo as did it all. Chuck Dick Hathaway, Bell.-v Chuck him and tako me on."
"I lovo Dick," returned Bella.
"You mean what you say?"
"Yes, Ida"
"And 1 can go hang?"
"Oh, I n-jver said itl"
"No, but you meant it. Well, I'm off. It's wrote I cau go hang."
He turned ou his heel as he spoko and left her to hurry home, trembling, alone. For a time no more was seen of Han¬ son, but a rumor told how he was to bo met nightly at the bar of tho Golden Scorpion, a gin palape of preposterous radiance at the comer of High strect. Early in the uew year tho Sultana start¬ ed again, with Dick Hathaway as skip¬ per, on a trip to Folkestone, this time with a cargo of coal and pretty Bella— now a wife of some three days' experi¬ ence—as mistress on board.
It was a bright, fresh day, with a ¦teaming sun drawing moisture over tho E.ssex marshes. Far ast«m Loudon lay mysteriously curtained in a purple haze. A little nearer, lying off the port quarttr, whero Bella stood, the wharf they h.id jo.st left melted slowly into the haze. There, tco, stood one solitary figure—her father, waving his old ker¬ chief bravely.
"Poor father," Bella sighed asshe tnrned from looking at last "I'm afraid he'll find tho old place dull now I'm gone."
"Ton aren't sorry yon caine, lass, aro yoa?"
"No, no! Gh, Dick, yon know I'm not!"
"Aye, laFS, I know it Bnt I like to hear you say it," returned the skipper as he slid his arm abont her waist and drew her to him by tho wheel.
"I'm very happy, Dick," Bella sigh¬ ed gently. "Yon are very good to me." "BIe.ss yon, lass, why, who wouldn't be, if so bo ho had tbe ch.arce?"
After which they talked in whi.^pers as the crow came aft, busying them¬ aelves with tho gear. As tho day grow the wind dropped, and toward 3 o'clock they were sailing slowly down Graves- end reach. Tlie tide was nearly done.
"Ill 'brin.g up ju.st below the Owens, mate!" <;ried ^ skipper presently. "If this breeze drops at sundown, 'twon't be very pretty on tho river. "
"Aye," said the mate. "It dou't look Very pretty uow. Belike there won't be any wind come flood. "

Tbere wai a sudden rattle of rashing ciiain, and with it shriller cries and shouts of paiu. The boy bad got mixed up with the chain. His band and aim were badly crushed.
"Good henvensl" eriod tho skipper when he got beside them forward. "How tho shivers did you manage that? Whv, thi&is ah()||»|^Job."
"There's Ho two ways about that Bkipper," said the mate. But the boy, a lad of abont 18, lay silent, strnck sense¬ less by the pain.
"Well, what's got to be has to be," said Dick ruefully. "You get the boat bauled up and Ned down into her when ho comes to, whilo I run aft to tell the missus and put the light ont We'll havo to leave her in charge of tho dog."
In half an hour or so all their arrange¬ ments were completo. Dick came on deck and tumbled into the boat
".So long, Bella, lass!" he cried as ho sighted her standing watching their departure. "Tho flood's come up. We'll soon jog along aud bo back again long before 12."
Theu they vanished in the haze astern.
It was a silent beautifnl night dark, clear and cold, as Bella stood ou the lit¬ tle quarter deck, accompanied by Vix¬ en, Dick's retriever, locking away over the stern where the gleaming lights at Gravoseud and Tilbury threw a glow of shimmering twilight into the sky. Near at hand, passiug up and down the great black rivor, steamers and sailing craft went silently on their way, lit with sparks of twinkling light Here a Eteam¬ er scurried past radiant with rows of flashing ports, signaling hoarsely for the watching pilots at Gravesend. There, a sailing craft, approaching closo, throw her sails iuto the wind as she weut about with a flutter and roar of canvas and changing lighta
It was growing cold. So, followed by the dog, she weut below. Here she seat¬ ed herself beforo the cabin stove, stir¬ ring the flre to a ruddy glow. Tho dog nestled beside her, eying her wistfully.
"Poor little dog," she whispered. "Y'ou want your master, don't yon? So do I, Vixen. Come, what shall we do to make the timo pass? Put up thoso new curtains I have—eh, doggie? Then Dick will hardly know the old 'lo<lgiug' (bunk) wheu ho comes back."
So they busied themselves thtia, the dog watching anxiously, nntil Bella was satisfied aud stood back to view the re¬ snlt
"Therei" she cried, "I do call that pretty. Why, I believe"—
Jast then the dog cocked her ears and growled.
"What's the matter. Vixen?" cried Bella as she strained her ears to listen, "fln.sh, it's only niasterl Go<xl dog!"
Bat Vixen knew better. She flew np the cabin steps growling vicion.«ly. Suddenly thero wa."? a loud cry. Then, as a niuflled curse broke tho still night air, Bella hoard a dull thud, after which the dog snarled no more.
In another instant Bill Hauson stalk¬ ed iuto tho c.ibiu.
"What do you want?" cried Bella, who, nqw that she saw who it was, threw fear to the winds aud stood bold¬ ly confronting him.
"I waut you, Bella. And I'm come to fetch you.''
"You're mad, Bill Hanson," cried the girl .-mgrily.
"I dou't kuow anything abont that," tbe man returned hoarsely. "I know I love yon, and I'm going to tako you. What else d'ye thiuk I'm hero for? I sighted yon coming away from the wharf tbis moming, aud if it liadii't been for tho old man I'd liave been stow¬ ed av.'.iy aboard tho Sultana to watch my chawnse easy enough instead of hav¬ ing to tow down following yon all day. So uow you're coming with me."
"Never!" cried the girl. "Y'on're a coward. If Dick were here, ho wonld kill you."
"Ah, he might 1 But Dick ain't hero. He's aw.iy gallivauting, leaving you here alone. Ho don't lovo you, Bella. Como away with me, lass. I'.'o been wild and gouo ou tho beer. But I'll bo steady enough with yon to help me. Come, Bella, say yon'll chuck Dick and como along with mo."
"I bate yon. I would uever speak a word toyou, but you force me," cried the girl. "Go back to your boat Go!"
"I'm not going Wlthont yon, so yon'd Better como quiet," cried Hauson, grow¬ ing angry aud makiug toward her.
But the girl, springing past him, rush¬ ed ou df.cJi and mada tho uight ring with shrieks for help.
Hanson, cursing blindly, followed her up tbe ladder.
"You'll never see Dick again if you dcn't shut that noise. Shut it!" ho shouted, c.ttchingher frail, soft form iu bis arms, "or, by my soul, you'll uover cry again!"
They stood struggling n minute, theu Btnmblcd heavily over the hatch comb¬ ings. Bella fell undermost her head Striking a ringbolt
Just then tho sound of approaching oars fell npon the man's ears. He got np, listening intently. They grew rap¬ idly nearer. Ho stooped over the girl's prostrate form. She never moved or Btirred.
"She's dead!" ho muttered. "She's dead!"
Tho horror of the thing forced itself slowly through his dull brain. Ho tried to pick her up, but she hung so heavily in his arms and tho uoise of tbe row¬ locks became so distinct that ho hm:- riedly put her down ag.ain.
" 'Taint no use," he moaned in an agony of dread. "She's dead. She's dead, and I must cnt and mn."
Then, with au oath, he stumble^ across the deck, dropped swiftly into his boat and rowed away in the darknesa But his calculations were astray. Be¬ fore he had gone 50 yards np the flood a thole pin broke. So, after a vain at¬ tempt to row withont it in tho dark¬ ness, he gave up, and pntting ono oar by stuck the other over the stem and sculled shoreward.
Presently the boat's nose took the mud. He planted his oar firoily and pushed her as fcr as possible up tho shelving mndbank, then jumped out and flotmdered to-,vard the sea wall. From thence he cotUd gain the road to the forts aud so acroBS conntry, away from the horror of the river.
Bnt the night was dark, and as he plunged ankle deep in tho soft mud ho came to a placo where a vessel had ro- ceutly lain. The bed she bad hollowed was now filled up again. Bnt it waa soft and treacherous as a quicksand, so soft that when hc bluntlered npon it he sank to his knoes. Stmegling desperate¬ ly, he plunged deeper aiid deeper with
every effort' until no conld not move at all. Oh, the agouy of it! There ho lay, sucking iuto tho honid slime. The mud held him fast in a death grip, creeping higher and higher about his so<lden limbs as he strove in frenzied fashion to hhaHto himself clear.
The flood—tbe silent Intractable flood—was creeping slowly toward him. A grim, steaUby death stared him iu tho face.
Soon the water had crept clos& He found himself counting the minntes that must elapse cro he was drowned. The tide swept shoreward. Now a dead dog eddied np beside him, gurgling and bobbing iu the tide, now this way, now that He tried to avoid it but thn thing struck him and swerved on again. Soon he would be like that Another rush of tide circled far beyond him, car¬ rying the body with it He was dumb now—in a lethargy—from cold and de¬ spair. Stay! Perhaps when the water flowed enough it vould help him to free himself. Ho watched intently—watch¬ ed and saw it creep waist higl^ breast high, then bubble about his shoulders. But no, it availed him nothing. No help! No help!
The tide crept on silent as the desert remorseless as fate, slowly, aa though ". '''MTor etmck eyes viewed its pasaage and prayed for speed; on until it paaaed over his head anJ his last bnbbling cry died out on the night; on until it reaebed the flotsam and jetsa:? at i.>hn water mark, where it mingled, gnrgliug amid the stones, slime and seaweed, •moag tbe tin pota and dead doffi, trac¬ ing ont the ratholes and slimy crannies that mark the extent of the tide flow; on whilo the chill wiud sighed over tho steaming marshes, while gleaming lights hurried np the river and men's voices grew musical with distance, as though there were no Buch thing as de¬ spair or death.
Bnt Bella was not dead
When Dick Hathaway returned to the Sultana, he found her titting ou the hatches weeping over the dead dog.
Poor child! She was nearly mad with joy at seeing him again and clung to him, weeping hysterically, some time before he could glean what had gone awry.
Aud then Dick forgot himself aud swore savagely, after tho manner of skippers, of certain vengeanco he would take on Hanson when he met him tm¬ til Bella interrupted softly, with her arms about his neck, and bogged him to forget it and stopped hia fierce words with a kiss.
So they rested all night taking no onward steps with the next ebb. Dick meanwhile revolved the trouble anx¬ iously.
Toward 8 o'clock next moming the mate spied a gronp of men staudiug o^ er something lying on tho edge of tbe mud. Calling tho boy quietly, they row¬ ed away shoreward. Here they found the body of Bill Hauson, lately freed from tho mnd, his limbs rigid with cold aud death.—London Answera
A Snrprise Auction.
At a recent progressive euchre party the prizes wero on an original plan. Each winner of a gamo was giveu a beau to put iu a tiny bag bestowed npon him or her for tho purpose before the playing began. Wheu the g.tmes were ended, the company took seats in a circle and armed with their beau bags around tho host, who had a variety of small packages before him. Tbese he proceeded to auction off for beans. No¬ body knew what was in theni, so that the elemeut of chauce °ad46d to the charm and the fuu of the thiug. Some of them, wheu opened, wero found to con¬ tain all sairfWM-'fteaMaMi^ bnt the most of them had pretty little trifles that were inexpensive to provide, but that served this pnrpose admirably.— Philadelphia Press. ^^
A Rare, Testable.
In closing his gronnd the trufHcr is guided by the time of year, the charac¬ ter of the soil and his own judgment and experience, says a London jonmai. Ou familiar beats he knows exactly where to go, aud in a strango coantry is gnided by certain geueral principles. Where fern aud bracken grow, where furzo is plentiful, where there are rteds and rushes, wherever the laud is moist aud sour, it is hopeless to expect truf- iles. They love a light soil and yet never attain any size or perfection on a poor oue. By far tho greatest quantity are obtained uuder the shadow of beech trees, but vory fino specimens are often fouud under the cedar, especially in av¬ enues and grotuids where the land has beeu well trenched. The lime is another good tree for them, and so is the ever¬ green o,tk. In Franco the oak is their favorite tree. Early in the season—that is to say, ii> September aud October— qnantities aro to bo obtained on the roadsides (sometimes iu ground so hard it would neod a pickax to opea it) on railway embankments aud ou tho out¬ sides of copses and covers. Later, when leaves have fallen aud the sun is able to pcnctrato glado and thicket, the iu¬ side beds nro most productive. They do not come nnder very young trees and disappear entirely from old wooda
Where Sheridan Took BU Drmm.
Fox's room and Sheridan's room are still honorably distinguished at Hol¬ land Honse in England. Tho latter was a constant guest and a little Btory is told about him which suggests a donbt whether Lord Holland's cellar was alto¬ gether worthy of his repntation as a Ma?cenas. Opposite the houso, bnt with¬ in the limits of Kensington High, street stood and still stands » tavern known as the Adam aud Eve. It has recently been rebuilt and mo-3eroized, bnt uot long ago it presented a quaint old fash¬ ioned appearance which carried it back to tho date of tho regency. In leaving Holland Honso Sheridan invariably call¬ ed for a dram at the Adam and Eve aud ns regularly "chalked it np" to Lord Holland.
The Ltudlord, proud of his distin¬ guished guest, did not tronbie hie lord¬ ship about the matter till several years had elapsed aud the score had reached a somewhat heavy amount, which Lord Holland discharged with a wry face.— Ncw York Advertiser.

CHEDDAR CHEESE.
Why the EnclUh Article la Better Than Any Other.
This cheese may be called the stand¬ ard in England and in America for tbo general cheesomaker. It ia that ty which other cheese is judged as to its quality, and while there are richfT cheeses yet tho process of manufacture is auch that this cheeee is the best made one iu tho world for tho qnality of is. It is every man's cheese and now occu¬ pies tho fir.st place in the English cate¬ gory in place of the Cheshire, which 40 years ago nsed to be considered the standard. This distinction is dno doubt¬ less tc tho skill of the Engli.sh dairy- women who do the work in the dairy while the mon attend to the excellently . managed farms by which the large pop¬ ulation aud live stock are supported. That this fanning is e.Tcellent is sliow by thoso figures, which relate to t! connty nf Hi.miTset, the center of th« Cheddar district Tbere aia tve peiscins to every acre, 1 cow and 1 yoang ani - mai to euoh 10 acres, 1 sheep to each l^jicres aud 1 pig to eaeh 10 acrefl.

The appearance of t'jo landscape is the most pleasing and is remembered evor afterw.ird when onco seen by a vis¬ itor. Clean fields, verdant pastures, handsome homesteads, well kept hedges, orchards and blooming gardens lUid ev- erywheit) evidences of comfort aud pros¬ perity. Tho cheese has been a leading product for more than a ceutury, antl that it is of excellent quality will be readily understood by thc intensely clean chaiacter of tho brick or stone dairies, entirely free from auy gathering of offal or waste, and, to nso a common term, a.s fresh aud sweet as ono of their crimson tipped daisies. This intense clean^JDC'.'is is ono of tho conspicuous reasons for tlio pood quality and puro flavor of tho cheese. The other pecnliarities of tho dairy work may be summed up as, first the condition of tha milk, this being the best in i'\ ery w.ty possible; second, tho temperature of setting, which is low —viz, 78 to 80 degrees; third, draw¬ ing off the whey early; fourth, heating the^curd to IOO degrees; fifth and most important, heaping tho hot card in tho vat nntil a mild acidity is dcvolopctl; sixth, putting iu tho press to get rid of the whey, at a low temperattire—viz, GO to 70 degrees; seventh, grinding tho curd aud theu salting, with accurate measuring uf tbo salt
These various processes Ato all in¬ cluded in what is distinctly known as tho special cheddar process, aud thus tho torm "choddariiig" h,».i como into nso to distingnish this method from all others. Tho mea.snro of acidity is very low, nnd by dne atteution to this very special poiut of tho making the fino mellow texture aud solidity of tho cheese are secured. Then tho carefnl curing in the brick or stone—and thuM ea-sily regulated—dairy houses iu which the chceso is ripened, with the goo<lucs.<( of tho milk, gives tho richnesa in tho mouth, tho loug keeping qnality aud tho freedom from holos, with thn desir¬ able mild pure flavor distinctly free from every taint of incipient di'< Bition, which havo mado thise:: pattern, not always adhered to, howev¬ er, for the A.nierican, but moro clo-sely followed by tho Canadian dairymen.
Tho excellence of tho great Chicago prize mammoth cheese made iu Canada is a very goo<l sample of how nearly tho Canadian cheescmakers como np 10 tho high standard of the genuine Euglish Cheddar. And this success ia duo lo both tbo better farming aud sSll iu thf) dairy of the (.'anadian farmers, for this cheese had all the good qualities men¬ tioned—viz, the mellow texture, tho ricliuesa of flavor, the remarkable keep¬ ing qualities—by which pieces of this cheese distributed months after tho makiug of it still retained all its origi¬ nal excellence—aud the solidity, to which all tbese qualities are doubtless dne, for a compact ma.ss or curd must from tho necessary exclusion of tho uir have the durable quality, and the slo'.v ripening dne to this gives the special texture.
Thus tho stndent of cheese dairying 'has in this chef?R0 and this relation of tho mauiier of its making au invaluable lesson for guidance in his btisines-s. Other cheeses may be curious to him. This cheddar is a bit of bu-siuess infor¬ mation that is invaluable. Aud this moro so as wo aro competing with this che<'se in its native country, aud to mako tho busiuess profitable v.'o must mako as goo<l a cheesa Wo must im¬ prove our ifarmiiig first, makiug better pastures, keeping tho best kiud of cows, yielding rich milk, so that tho curd may bo fnll of fatness and of snch pu¬ rity of flavor that the cheese may retain it nutil it reaches tho cnusumer's handii.
A few words may perhaps bo u.sefnlly devoted to tho matter of cleanliness ou a model cheddar farm. At tbe bcgiu- niug tho pa-stures may be mentioned a.s used alternately for feeding and fur h.iy. This keeps the pasture clean, by no me.ius an insiguificaut beginning. The cows are largely fed on green crops, of which clover is conspicuously impor¬ tant. Tho cows aro Shorthoru grade.-*. Tho Lick of h.iy land is ni.ido np by feeding the cows on straw and oilnieal in tbe winter. The cows are k' jit iu atone hon.ses with paved fioors kept scm- pulotisiy clean. Tho milk is drawn into tin paila The dairy house adjoins the dwelling, and the milkers aro never per¬ mitted toenter it tho milk being pour< <! into a receiver at tho window made for this pnrpose. The whey passes off into the piggery at a distance, which is kept as scrupulously clean as the cowhouse and the dairy. Tliere it is received into a vat from which it is pumped into the ifeed troughs as wanted. No manure is allowed to gather in the pens, which are «leanp<l ont daily, and fresh litter is spread. The samo is tmo of tho cow- inmee. The manure ia at once cai-ted off to tb« field, where it ia to be n.sed and piled. When it is well rotted down, it 19 spread «n tho meadows to be jaowed next summer.
By this sort of careful management this dairyman aaakes an incorae of more than £600 stcriiaK on his 300 acre f.irm after paying £000 atinnal rent nud £300

A SAILOR'S EEVEME.
Bella MalHson's troubles were tho ro- Bnlt of certain eventnalittfia Sbe was very pretty aud had many lover.*. These follow in tho natural order of thinga Her father,~oldTom Mallison, had been a coasting.skipper; but, his wifo dying about the tiui^-his craft was condemned for niiseaworSiiness, be had fallen on evil times anfl drifted silently down tho ebbtide of-his existence, mindful of what had been and striving to act well by his girl.
So pretty Bella came to be tall, slight and grjicefully rounded, looked 20, thongli barely 17. Sho was a pretty, flushed, dark haired British girl, who conld -TOW hor father's skiff or stand hci lovM»' chaff with easy grace.
Matttji* went smoothly enough mitil Dick Hathaway stepped in and gained tho girl's promise. He was a tall, bright faced, manly fellow of 25 or thereabouts and skipper of the ketch Sultana, a craft peculiar to the lower Thames, trading mainly with the home ports.
One night shortly after their engage¬ ment tho two wore sitting iu tho dusk of tho twilight talking of the future which lay so bright before them. Only one figure loomed dark across their horizon—BiU Hanson, a man whose lover's attentions Bella had persistent¬ ly discouraged.
But tho glamour of lovo and the witchery of the girl's presenco in the firelit room made Dick laugh lightly at her fears when she told hiiu.
"Don't you trouble your pretty head about Bill Hanson, Bull.t," Dick whis¬ pered as ho strained bor to him, kLssing her good night. "I must i.;o now, dear. We're sailing at 13 o'cloci-c, aud if BiH Hanson says anything to you just let mo know, and I'll"—
"flush! Oh, Dick, what's that?"
A faco glared in upon them sLinding in tho firelight—a dark faco framed in tho wiudow pane—indistinct, vanish¬ ing, then—
Cra.?hl
Tho window fell, splintered into a thousand fragments.
Dicks face w.is dark wilh ungrr as ho strove to free himself from tho cling¬ ing, frightened girl. Bnt when at last ho got outsido bo v.is too lato. Tho street lay vacant aud deserted.
A fortnight or bo after this Bella was coining homo through tho blaring streets from :-. spell of Satnrday night's shopping. It was a raw, wet evening, and ns the girl hnrried along, tnrning Into the quieter streets, she heard foot¬ steps behind her. They blundered stead¬ ily on nnt:' nho camo to a narrow pas- sago litllo frequented, bnt a short cnt to her hoiGO. Pausing, she cast a hur¬ ried glauce ever her shoulder, then de¬ cided to ta!i:o tho cut. Beforo sho had traversed many yards she heard tho foot¬ steps quicken. Shtckcniug her pace, she Btepi«^d snddenly into tho shadow of au archway, hoping hei pursuer wonld pa.s8 in tho gloom. Bnt in another mo¬ ment ho hafl halted abruptly before her.
"What cheer, Miss Mallison?" cried a voice, which she directly recognized as Bill Hanson's.
"Oh, how you did frighten a Ixxly!" cried Bella, quickly proceeding ^n her way.
"Stop, Bella!" cried tho other. "You didn't nsed to be frightened of mo— now, did you?"
"I didn't know 'twas yoti."
"Aro yon sorry it's me?"
"I ain't glad," returned tbe girL
"Bella," answered the man, "is it tmo what I hears about Dick Hatha¬ way?"
"I don't know what yoa heard."
"Yes, you do. Bella, you know 1 lovo yon; Btrikcs mo yon kuow it as well as I do, aud yet you chuck me over same as if I was only a dawg."
"I never gavo you leave to talk to mo 80," cried tho girl hotly. "You'vebeen drinking ngaiu. Bill Hanson."
"Drinking, havo I? Yes, I have. Moro nor a drop too. What's more, you've drovo mo to it."
"I never encouraged yon, I'm snre," said Bella.
"No, you never did. That's whero it sticbi It's me as did the loving. It's mo as did the blooming dawg, dangling nfter yonr pretty footsteps. It's mo as did it all. Chuck Dick Hathaway, Bell.-v Chuck him and tako me on."
"I lovo Dick," returned Bella.
"You mean what you say?"
"Yes, Ida"
"And 1 can go hang?"
"Oh, I n-jver said itl"
"No, but you meant it. Well, I'm off. It's wrote I cau go hang."
He turned ou his heel as he spoko and left her to hurry home, trembling, alone. For a time no more was seen of Han¬ son, but a rumor told how he was to bo met nightly at the bar of tho Golden Scorpion, a gin palape of preposterous radiance at the comer of High strect. Early in the uew year tho Sultana start¬ ed again, with Dick Hathaway as skip¬ per, on a trip to Folkestone, this time with a cargo of coal and pretty Bella— now a wife of some three days' experi¬ ence—as mistress on board.
It was a bright, fresh day, with a ¦teaming sun drawing moisture over tho E.ssex marshes. Far ast«m Loudon lay mysteriously curtained in a purple haze. A little nearer, lying off the port quarttr, whero Bella stood, the wharf they h.id jo.st left melted slowly into the haze. There, tco, stood one solitary figure—her father, waving his old ker¬ chief bravely.
"Poor father," Bella sighed asshe tnrned from looking at last "I'm afraid he'll find tho old place dull now I'm gone."
"Ton aren't sorry yon caine, lass, aro yoa?"
"No, no! Gh, Dick, yon know I'm not!"
"Aye, laFS, I know it Bnt I like to hear you say it," returned the skipper as he slid his arm abont her waist and drew her to him by tho wheel.
"I'm very happy, Dick," Bella sigh¬ ed gently. "Yon are very good to me." "BIe.ss yon, lass, why, who wouldn't be, if so bo ho had tbe ch.arce?"
After which they talked in whi.^pers as the crow came aft, busying them¬ aelves with tho gear. As tho day grow the wind dropped, and toward 3 o'clock they were sailing slowly down Graves- end reach. Tlie tide was nearly done.
"Ill 'brin.g up ju.st below the Owens, mate!" hn water mark, where it mingled, gnrgliug amid the stones, slime and seaweed, •moag tbe tin pota and dead doffi, trac¬ ing ont the ratholes and slimy crannies that mark the extent of the tide flow; on whilo the chill wiud sighed over tho steaming marshes, while gleaming lights hurried np the river and men's voices grew musical with distance, as though there were no Buch thing as de¬ spair or death.
Bnt Bella was not dead
When Dick Hathaway returned to the Sultana, he found her titting ou the hatches weeping over the dead dog.
Poor child! She was nearly mad with joy at seeing him again and clung to him, weeping hysterically, some time before he could glean what had gone awry.
Aud then Dick forgot himself aud swore savagely, after tho manner of skippers, of certain vengeanco he would take on Hanson when he met him tm¬ til Bella interrupted softly, with her arms about his neck, and bogged him to forget it and stopped hia fierce words with a kiss.
So they rested all night taking no onward steps with the next ebb. Dick meanwhile revolved the trouble anx¬ iously.
Toward 8 o'clock next moming the mate spied a gronp of men staudiug o^ er something lying on tho edge of tbe mud. Calling tho boy quietly, they row¬ ed away shoreward. Here they found the body of Bill Hauson, lately freed from tho mnd, his limbs rigid with cold aud death.—London Answera
A Snrprise Auction.
At a recent progressive euchre party the prizes wero on an original plan. Each winner of a gamo was giveu a beau to put iu a tiny bag bestowed npon him or her for tho purpose before the playing began. Wheu the g.tmes were ended, the company took seats in a circle and armed with their beau bags around tho host, who had a variety of small packages before him. Tbese he proceeded to auction off for beans. No¬ body knew what was in theni, so that the elemeut of chauce °ad46d to the charm and the fuu of the thiug. Some of them, wheu opened, wero found to con¬ tain all sairfWM-'fteaMaMi^ bnt the most of them had pretty little trifles that were inexpensive to provide, but that served this pnrpose admirably.— Philadelphia Press. ^^
A Rare, Testable.
In closing his gronnd the trufHcr is guided by the time of year, the charac¬ ter of the soil and his own judgment and experience, says a London jonmai. Ou familiar beats he knows exactly where to go, aud in a strango coantry is gnided by certain geueral principles. Where fern aud bracken grow, where furzo is plentiful, where there are rteds and rushes, wherever the laud is moist aud sour, it is hopeless to expect truf- iles. They love a light soil and yet never attain any size or perfection on a poor oue. By far tho greatest quantity are obtained uuder the shadow of beech trees, but vory fino specimens are often fouud under the cedar, especially in av¬ enues and grotuids where the land has beeu well trenched. The lime is another good tree for them, and so is the ever¬ green o,tk. In Franco the oak is their favorite tree. Early in the season—that is to say, ii> September aud October— qnantities aro to bo obtained on the roadsides (sometimes iu ground so hard it would neod a pickax to opea it) on railway embankments aud ou tho out¬ sides of copses and covers. Later, when leaves have fallen aud the sun is able to pcnctrato glado and thicket, the iu¬ side beds nro most productive. They do not come nnder very young trees and disappear entirely from old wooda
Where Sheridan Took BU Drmm.
Fox's room and Sheridan's room are still honorably distinguished at Hol¬ land Honse in England. Tho latter was a constant guest and a little Btory is told about him which suggests a donbt whether Lord Holland's cellar was alto¬ gether worthy of his repntation as a Ma?cenas. Opposite the houso, bnt with¬ in the limits of Kensington High, street stood and still stands » tavern known as the Adam aud Eve. It has recently been rebuilt and mo-3eroized, bnt uot long ago it presented a quaint old fash¬ ioned appearance which carried it back to tho date of tho regency. In leaving Holland Honso Sheridan invariably call¬ ed for a dram at the Adam and Eve aud ns regularly "chalked it np" to Lord Holland.
The Ltudlord, proud of his distin¬ guished guest, did not tronbie hie lord¬ ship about the matter till several years had elapsed aud the score had reached a somewhat heavy amount, which Lord Holland discharged with a wry face.— Ncw York Advertiser.

CHEDDAR CHEESE.
Why the EnclUh Article la Better Than Any Other.
This cheese may be called the stand¬ ard in England and in America for tbo general cheesomaker. It ia that ty which other cheese is judged as to its quality, and while there are richfT cheeses yet tho process of manufacture is auch that this cheeee is the best made one iu tho world for tho qnality of is. It is every man's cheese and now occu¬ pies tho fir.st place in the English cate¬ gory in place of the Cheshire, which 40 years ago nsed to be considered the standard. This distinction is dno doubt¬ less tc tho skill of the Engli.sh dairy- women who do the work in the dairy while the mon attend to the excellently . managed farms by which the large pop¬ ulation aud live stock are supported. That this fanning is e.Tcellent is sliow by thoso figures, which relate to t! connty nf Hi.miTset, the center of th« Cheddar district Tbere aia tve peiscins to every acre, 1 cow and 1 yoang ani - mai to euoh 10 acres, 1 sheep to each l^jicres aud 1 pig to eaeh 10 acrefl.

Clean fields, verdant pastures, handsome homesteads, well kept hedges, orchards and blooming gardens lUid ev- erywheit) evidences of comfort aud pros¬ perity. Tho cheese has been a leading product for more than a ceutury, antl that it is of excellent quality will be readily understood by thc intensely clean chaiacter of tho brick or stone dairies, entirely free from auy gathering of offal or waste, and, to nso a common term, a.s fresh aud sweet as ono of their crimson tipped daisies. This intense clean^JDC'.'is is ono of tho conspicuous reasons for tlio pood quality and puro flavor of tho cheese. The other pecnliarities of tho dairy work may be summed up as, first the condition of tha milk, this being the best in i'\ ery w.ty possible; second, tho temperature of setting, which is low —viz, 78 to 80 degrees; third, draw¬ ing off the whey early; fourth, heating the^curd to IOO degrees; fifth and most important, heaping tho hot card in tho vat nntil a mild acidity is dcvolopctl; sixth, putting iu tho press to get rid of the whey, at a low temperattire—viz, GO to 70 degrees; seventh, grinding tho curd aud theu salting, with accurate measuring uf tbo salt
These various processes Ato all in¬ cluded in what is distinctly known as tho special cheddar process, aud thus tho torm "choddariiig" h,».i como into nso to distingnish this method from all others. Tho mea.snro of acidity is very low, nnd by dne atteution to this very special poiut of tho making the fino mellow texture aud solidity of tho cheese are secured.
